Quadrilateral Cowboy wowed judges at the IndieCade Festival way back in 2013, taking home the Grand Jury Award. The game tasks players with writing code on an '80s era computer, while also solving environmental puzzles that require you to deactivate alarms and lasers and reconfigure your bulky hardware. The game was expected to release later in 2013, but has been suffered from a number of delays, making today's announcement all the more exciting for eager fans.
Quadrilateral Cowboy's homepage has also been updated, stating that Mac and Linux versions of the game will launch in September. You can get more information on the game's standard and deluxe versions by checking out Blendo Games' FAQ.
